Mélangé Bajo Velo 2016 Blanco

Recuero, Vinos sin indicación geográfica

The unconventional idea of blending grapes from Sierra de Gata in Extremadura and Villanueva de Alcardete (Toledo) and ageing the resulting wine under a veil of yeasts (flor) works surprisingly well, possibly as a result of the harmonising role of the ageing process. With a Sherry-like nose and moderate alcohol, the wine’s acidity feels slightly higher, yet Mélangé stands out for its length and chalky character on the finish. An affordable rarity. 16.5 points
